Ford E-250 V8 or any of the econo vans.

I think it’s safe to say…ANY Ford is a bitch 🙂

Always rotted out and seized solid. Fucking junk. I hate Fords more than anything.

06+ 5.7 hemi dodges have 16 plugs, just tuned one up a few weeks back. Not too hard, but a bit of a pain.

RB20/25’s are a bitch to do cuz of the manifold and coilpack cover, they’re not hard but time consuming… I might not run the cover on the skyline.

Chris, just be sure to ground the ignitor somewhere. Mount it somewhere so it can keep cool too.

I’m gonna re-mount mine. Still running the cover. Looks pretty 🙂

The G35 isn’t super hard, but it was a massive jump in work from the 240, and I hate doing it.  
Fuck, I loved how easy it was on the 240. I remember reading a member here talk about doing plugs on an IS300, and it sounded ridiculous.

I gotta do the plugs on my IS… looks like I gotta pull off the TB to get at them, not the worst in comparison to say an R500. you can’t even see half the engine, its just hidden.

I imagine MR2’s would be a pita. I once switched the spark plugs and coil on a VW Jetta and found that to be a bit annoying. Barely any room at all to work with.
